Zorana Plateau Watchtower from Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

We start with Zorana’s location. In this area we will locate the Zorana plateau, which we will find to the east of Lanayru. Once we are in this location we can see that the entrance to the Watchtower is completely blocked by a viscous substance that prevents our passage. If we want to pass to activate this Watchtower we will have to use a watery fruit to clean the area , and be able to pass.

Watchtower of the Oumbra ruins

For this we will have to travel to the area of ​​the great forest of Hyrule. Here we will go up to a white platform that we will see in the area, and with the “Ultrahand” skill we will be able to place a rocket right in the center and thus be able to ascend to the top. When you see that you have reached enough height, drop down and glide to reach the activation console of the watchtower itself.

Gerudo Mountain Range Watchtower

In the lands of the Gerudo we will find the Watchtower of the mountain range. When we arrive at this watchtower we will realize that its entrance is completely covered in snow, so the step we will have to take is to look for another entrance. Head north from the tower and enter the cave on the plateau. Once there we will let ourselves be carried along the river path and use the “Ultrahand” skill before falling down the waterfall to grab a board and thus give ourselves the opportunity to climb the tower.

The Legend of Zelda: Gerudo Canyon Watchtower

Also located in the Gerudo area, this watchtower has a console that does not work well. We will have to go down and talk to the NPC Kagiel . Once this is done we will go up again and with the “Ultrahand” skill we will collect three metal blocks to use as counterweight. Once this is done we will talk to Kagiel again and he will fix the console so that we can activate it . You can take a look at our entry on all TOTK watchtowers .

Sahasra Hill Watchtower in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

This watchtower is located west of Lanyru Necluda and will be closed. We will have to talk to a character who is right next to the door. The idea of ​​activating this tower is first to go down the right side of the hill and enter a cave that we will see shortly. At one point we can cross the roof, reaching a path that leads directly to the top of the tower . We will also have to collect the sticks on both sides of the door so that the character (with whom we have spoken before) can activate the terminal.

Popla Plateau Watchtower

Located in Farone, this watchtower has an activation console that does not work. We will have to go this way south from the tower . Enter the excavation down the hill and free the “ kaben ”. This way they will also give us a purple rupee. Once freed, we will have to enter the place to cross the roof and appear next to the tower. In addition, the activation console will be fixed by now.

Watchtower of Mount Labla

This is easy to activate. We will have to use the Ultrahand and join a total of four wooden plates in order to form a bridge . This will help us access the watchtower without having to climb. Consider it a cool extra trick.

Naorin Pass Watchtower

To access the tower, we will first have to burn the brambles that surround it. We can do it in several ways, but the simplest would be by shooting an arrow combined with a fiery fruit . And ready.

Eldin Valley Watchtower

When you get to this location you will see that we will have to climb a mountain and once at the entrance to the tower, talk to Kagiel . In the east of the tower a succession of blocks is falling, so we will have to wait for the right moment, climb on top of one and use the Backslide ability so that instead of descending , the fragment of the tower will take us up and thus activate the console.

Mount Ulri Watchtower in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

This watchtower is very characteristic because it does not have a console. In fact, the console has been stolen by a bird that flies over the place . What we will basically have to do is combine a normal arrow with a keese eye. This will direct the arrow directly towards the bird and thus be able to shoot it down. Once this is done we will recover the console and Kagiel will fix everything again. she will fix everything.

Fandell Swamp Watchtower

Located in the Eastern Necluda area, this watchtower is completely covered in spikes, and it will also be impossible for us to remove them with fire since it will be raining. We will have to go to the covered areas in the southern part of the tower, place a flint next to the brambles and light the spark that will set everything on fire. Apart from this, we will use the Ultrahand ability to gather a couple of boards around it and thus burn the brambles that prevent us from activating the console.
